Ohio State stands out as the ultimate pick for building an explosive offense in CFB 27. The program rolls out Jeremiah Smith at WR with a jaw-dropping 99 OVR, the only one in the game. The pairing goes even deeper with Julian Sayin at QB rated 94 OVR. That combo makes him the 2nd-best signal caller in the entire roster.

Missouri lines up as a real underdog to break through the season.

The rest of the picks depend on the playstyle you’re chasing. Alabama brings a nasty defensive wall with David Stone, Bray Hubbard, and Kadyn Proctor all sitting at 94 OVR. Oregon leans into pure speed with QB Dante Moore rated 95 OVR. Texas rolls out the ultimate pass rusher in Colin Simmons rated 95 OVR.

The EA Sports College Football 27 rankings deliver way more than just an in-game hierarchy. They give a real preview of the future first round picks of the 2027 NFL Draft heading into April. Jeremiah Smith already lines up as the heavy favorite for the 1st overall pick thanks to his 99 OVR and generational profile. Colin Simmons targets a top 10 pick after racking up 21 sacks and 29 tackles for loss across 2 college seasons at Texas.

The NIL landscape is already reshaping these stars’ path to the NFL. Several players choose to stick around another year in the NCAA to max out their NIL payouts.
